No it's not. Minor was a slasher and was out of control. Stringer has trouble creating his own shot in the lane and facilitates the offense more from outside the paint. I think Stringer will do a serviceable job, but comparing him to Minor is wrong and ridiculous.

I'm still in the denial stage of this and expect to be hit with the reality Tuesday night. Hickey was critical to this teams success and theres no way to spin it. I'm still holding out hope we get him back sooner than later, but it doesn't sound that way.
